The girl who was in a car when it was stolen has been found, according to police.

The wanted driver allegedly parked outside of a liquor store on the 2700 block of North American Street and asked a witness if he could "hold this for me," police said.

The suspect then got back into the vehicle and drove off after leaving the girl on the step outside the store, police said.

The girl was taken to Saint Christopher's Hospital to be evaluated, officials said. She has since been reunited with her mother.
